BOLDER & WISER with Peter Wang and Michelle Kraemer
The BOLDER & WISER podcast celebrates the messy growth journey and shares hard-earned wisdom from makers worldwide.
The B&W Podcast is based on the belief that
1) we are all work in progress, no matter where we are in life,
2) wisdom comes from honest reflections on our own journey, and
3) so much wisdom is buried in stories unshared.
Our first season highlights a wide range of unique operators that are leaders in their fields: from a Ukrainian jewelry entrepreneur, Head of audio at Adobe, to an Israeli founder of a billion-dollar company, design leader, leadership coach, personal finance leader, and more.
